A 14 year old girl named Ogechi Blessing, a SS2 pupil of Eva Adelaja Girls Secondary School in Bariga, Lagos was severely flogged on her bare buttocks and back allegedly by her school principal and teachers for slapping the school's headgirl on March 16th.

According to an eye-witness, Ogechi was slapped by the school's headgirl after a disagreement, but instead of walking away, the 14 year old returned the slap. The headgirl reported the matter to the school principal and teachers who took Ogechi to their staff room where they allegedly asked her to pull up her uniform and there-after gave her some hot lashes on her bare buttocks.
